76ers vs. Celtics Pick
Odds and betting data updated as of 12 p.m. ET
While the betting market is pricing the 76ers at a market-best price of +4.5 (-106) at FanDuel, our algorithms indicate Philly is getting the short end of the stick.
Our proprietary algorithms indicate that the 76ers should actually be +1.7 favorites for this matchup.
For a vig of -106, that gives this roughly a 7.7% edge versus the current line. Effectively, you’ll be receiving a 7.7% discount from the fair-value price.
Another way to think about it: You’re accumulating 7.7% in expected value by making that pick. Over the long run, if you exclusively bet on lines that provide positive expected value, you’re golden. In the short term, of course, variance is a constraint.
Pick: 76ers +4.5 (-106) |
The same principles apply for the moneyline, too. While Philadelphia should be +118 on the ML, the market-best price is at +165 at BallyBet. That translates to a betting edge of roughly 8.3%.
PRO Picks: 76ers +4.5 (-106) or better ⋅ 76ers +165 or better
